1、Designation:D794215Standard Specification forThermoplastic Pavement Markings in Non Snow PlowAreas1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7942;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers a reflectorized thermoplasticbased pavement striping material of the class that is applied tothe road surface in
3、a molten state by screed/extrusion or ribbonextrusion means.Retroreflectivity of the pavement markingcompound is achieved initially by surface application ofretroreflective optics at the time of pavement marking appli-cation.Upon cooling to normal pavement temperature,thepavement marking material pr
4、oduces an adherent reflectorizedstripe of specified thickness and width capable of resistingdeformation by traffic.The pavement marking compoundincludes retroreflective optics(glass beads or composite optics,or both)that are incorporated into the material at the time ofmanufacture that provide retro
5、reflective properties during theservice life of the material.1.1.1 This specification is limited to:1.1.1.1 Longitudinal applications in non snow plow areas,1.1.1.2 Standard(non-profile)pavementmarkingapplications,and1.1.1.3 Applications on smooth asphalt or concrete surfaces.Asphalt seal coat appli
6、cations,which use large aggregateresulting in a very rough,open grade finish,are excluded fromthis specification.1.1.2 This specification includes:1.1.2.1 Compositional and physical property requirementsof the thermoplastic pavement marking material,1.1.2.2 Requirements for the optics that are used
7、to reflec-torize the thermoplastic pavement marking material afterapplication,1.1.2.3 Field performance requirements for the installedthermoplastic pavement markings,and1.1.2.4 Material application requirements.1.2 The values stated in inch-pounds units are to be re-garded as the standard except whe
